Not taken AP for a number of years now and though this was a good article in the DSLR's defense

I've seen many comments on various forums that state whilst the mirrorless camera's are a little lighter, the lenses currently available don't match what the relevant photographer has been used to or has previously used so uses an adaptor on their current lens collection and the combinations becomes almost as heavy and front heavy at that.

I use kit that's heavy cos its good quality and I can produce the images I want to, fairly regularly I'll lug 8kg - 10kg ( 645 and 3 lenses ) up a hill or on a long walk + a tripod, this weekend will be a K3iii + 2 lenses totaling about 5.5kg and a monopod.

Don't have one of those Stuart, and don't intend to either

Exactly what I did about 8 years ago.

I guess the cat was " wired for sound "

Just a fraction, yes, I did some perspective correction and may have over cooked it slightly

Yep, spot on John

I think theres an even better image with a crop of the r/h 3/4 ish with just the 2 sets of buds, superb dof

Very well shot, the last two in particular showing your excellent panning skills.

One from a lovely warm evening last Friday, K1 - F8 - 1/40th sec Handheld - 1600 ISO - Samyung 14mm F2.8

That's always the issues with an sort of similar show, well shot and presented Rob.

I like the bloke with his brekkie
